Year 3 World Book Day

 


Our Year 3 children were at their creative

best this week as we celebrated World

Book Day. From the moment the children

arrived, the classroom was transformed

by an incredible array of costumes. It

was a joy to see them proudly

presenting their characters to their peers,

with outfits ranging from classic literary

icons to wonderfully imaginative

original creations. The sheer effort and

enthusiasm displayed by every pupil made

the day truly unforgettable. Well done Year 3.

World Book Day Year 4

 




Year 4 Celebrate World Book Day in Style

Year 4 had a fantastic time celebrating World Book Day this week, with excitement and creativity filling the classroom from the moment the children arrived at school. The costumes were absolutely amazing, and it was wonderful to see the children proudly showing them off to their classmates. From well-known storybook characters to imaginative creations, the effort and enthusiasm everyone put into their outfits made the day extra special.

Throughout the day, the children took part in a range of fun and engaging activities. One of the highlights was an online quiz where pupils tested their knowledge of different books and characters. The class also enjoyed an interactive lesson that encouraged them to think about their favourite stories and explore new ones.




 "You have those books Miss Brimmer, they're my favourite!" - Moyo, Elm

"She wrote one of your books Miss!" - Tommy, Elm


In addition, the children completed a variety of reading challenges and activities designed to celebrate the joy of books and storytelling. These tasks allowed them to share their love of reading, discover new authors, and work together with their friends.

World Book Day was a wonderful opportunity for Year 4 to celebrate reading in a fun and memorable way. It was lovely to see the children so enthusiastic about books, and the fantastic costumes truly brought their favourite stories to life.

Well done, Year 4, for making the day such a success!

Thank you to all of the parents and children that donated books.

Year 3 WILD Curriculum (Forest School)

 WILD Curriculum

This week, the Year 3 children had a brilliant time during their latest  WILD Curriculum (Forest School) session.  They learnt how to use  various tools  to  create and decorate personalised key rings. Additionally, they  had a coice of creating bracelets or necklaces from colourful beads and wood stems.  The children loved their necklaces so much that they still wore them days after their Forest School session. Well done Year 3.

Year 4 The Boy in The Girl's Bathroom


Year 4 have enthusiastically begun their new class novel, The Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom by Louis Sachar.

The children have been exploring the main character, Bradley Chalkers, looking closely at his personality, behaviour and actions. They have had thoughtful discussions about first impressions and how Bradley presents himself compared to how he may really be feeling inside.

As part of our work, the children completed a Role on the Wall activity to explore Bradley’s appearance, personality traits and emotions in more depth. They have also been making predictions about upcoming events in the story, using evidence from the text to support their ideas.


To deepen their understanding, the children took part in a hot-seating activity, where they asked and answered questions in role as different characters to explore thoughts and feelings. They also role-played the family dinner scene, carefully considering how Bradley interacts with his family and what this reveals about his character.






The children are thoroughly hooked and are very keen to find out what happens next!


Year 3 Certificates


This week, the children returned to school after the half term break and have been very busy!
Let's take a look at the story of this week. 

    In Literacy, the children were introduced to their new story for this half term, 'The King who banned the dark'. The children used their inference skills to form a prediction about the story based on the title and images from the book. 

In Maths, the children continued to focus on length and perimeter by converting measurements from mm to cm and from cm to m. They then extended their learning by subtracting lengths. 

Well done to all of our wonderful winners this week.

Year 4 experience board games

 



Today, Year 4 children completed one of their 48 Experiences at Broadford. During this exciting session, they had the opportunity to design and create their own board games.

The children chose a selection of popular game styles, including Snakes and Ladders, memory games, and themed tracks to follow. Working in small groups, they demonstrated excellent reciprocity and oracy skills, collaborating thoughtfully, sharing ideas, and listening carefully to one another as they brought their creations to life.

Following the design process, the children wrote a clear set of instructions to explain how to play their games, showing their understanding of structure and audience.

They all had a fantastic day and should be very proud of their teamwork, creativity and effort!






" I made a game like snakes and ladders because it is fun to play." Subhan, Willow



" Today was really fun. I enjoyed making a track game linked to Maths." Edie , Maple 







"I loved making the matching game and sharing with my friend" Lochlan, Elm
